PUBLIC INTEREST DISCLOSURE (WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION) ACT In 2013, the Government of Alberta enacted the Public Interest Disclosure (Whistleblower Protection) Act and associated regulations. The legislation protects employees making disclosures of wrongdoing that they have observed in the workplace for the purpose of facilitating the disclosure of wrongdoing, resolving problems revealed through investigation, and promoting public confidence in the public sector. In compliance with legislated reporting requirements, no disclosures were received or referred under the Whistleblower Protection Act in 2020–21.
